This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
He put (hupetaxen). First aorist active of hupotassō, to subject. Supply God (theos) as subject (Psa 8:7). See Heb 2:5-9 for similar use. Cf. Psa 8:1-9.
But when he saith (hotan de eipēi). Here Christ must be supplied as the subject if the reference is to his future and final triumph. The syntax more naturally calls for God as the subject as before. Either way makes sense. But there is no need to take eipēi (second aorist active subjunctive) as a futurum exactum, merely “whenever he shall say.”
Are put in subjection (hupotetaktai). Perfect passive indicative, state of completion, final triumph.
It is evident that (dēlon hoti). Supply estin (is) before hoti.
He is excepted who did subject (ektos tou hupotaxantos). “Except the one (God) who did subject (articular aorist active participle) the all things to him (Christ).”
